The Next Step of Grace.....deno.
Believing & Obeying God, The Winners Combination.......deno.....please share freely
Sin seems to always be a fun pleasure seeking adventure at the first. Into our minds comes all kinds of reason why we should do and cleave ourselves to that sin or pleasure or wrong doing. The devil is so clever in convincing people to sin and to do the wrong thing and to stick to that sin and repent not. Like cigaret smoking and drinking alcohol, he knows exactly how to paint in our minds the good picture to make us desire that sin or that wrong doing and by those images we become full of many persuasive persuasions to commit transgressions and do things that harm us. But like smoking cigarets eventually pay day is coming. We will reap the harvest of sin if we planted sin along our way and did not rid our gardens of it thru Christ blood and forgiveness.
When shall we wise up? When shall we say no to the things that God gets no pleasure in? God rewards the believer and the obedient, but He resisteth the proud and the wicked. If we love sin we love not God. Jesus said, It is those that do what I say that love Me and those that obey me my Father will bless and manifest Himself unto them.
Friends no where in the scriptures has it ever said sin and disobedience leads to Gods favor and goodness and blessings. We cannot live in any forms of sin and be strong in faith for sins committed by believers makes the heart heavy with conviction which in turn effects faiths confidence. Lets all do as the Spirit of the Lord has already said, Let us AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TO SIN NOT. In Acts 3:26) Peter shouted that the Lord has come to us after his resurrection to BLESS US ALL BY TURNING US FROM OUR INIQUITIES. Faith and living in sin is robbery of Gods blessings in our lives. It is by no means in any form a winners combination. It has lost, lose, and loser written all up in it. So flee from iniquity. Go and read Palms chapter one all over again. It contains the wisdom and counsel of the Lord for all generations.
Do we want the blessings of the Lord then get serious with loving the Lord and obeying His Love Commandment and Holy delights? If we plant good we reap Gods good. If we plant sin, evil follows. Obey God friend. Trust in the Lord and do good. Trust that He will honor you in your life for your faithfulness to obey Him instead of Satan and instead of blind friends......please share freely....deno.

Friends that day of exceeding great light in the life of Saul was going to change and transform his heart and life forever. Sauls name would be changed to Paul and on that day the GREATEST of servants of Jesus Christ was born again and was soon to become A GIANT in the faith and knowledge of the Son of God.
All this is true and all this is praise worthy but one must not leave out this which also accompanied Pauls so great a salvation and so great a conversion. For a few days later while Paul was still blind from the brightness of Jesus' appearing to him on that road to Damascus, the Lord appeared to another man name Ananias and said to him about Paul that he wanted him to go find Paul and pray for him. Jesus said to the hesitant Ananias who feared Pauls past record of persecuting the church, Jesus said.....Go to him Ananias, for he is a chosen vessel unto me for my purpose, to bear MY NAME before the Gentiles, and before presidents and kings, and the children of Israel. 16) For I will SHOW him what GREAT THINGS he must suffer/endure for MY NAMES SAKE. (Acts 9:15-20).
Truly we have great light and blessings believing and belonging to Christ. Yet we must not become deceived as to think that such exempts us from the thorns of the beautiful rose that God planted in the world. He said to the up and coming GIANT for Jesus Christ Paul of Tarsus, You will suffer GREAT THINGS for serving Me. Count the cost and press onward.....deno......please share freely.
